Because of the different intramolecular forces between water molecules as vapor in air, water, and ice, the wavelengths of emission and absorption are shifted; some of the radiation from the water / ice droplets at the top of a cloud can
escape to space because the atmosphere above it is transparent at its wavelengths, whereas the same radiation from droplets at the bottom of a cloud will be absorbed and re-emitted in random directions from the droplets above, including back down to the originating droplets.

Because the lapse rate is not zero, changing the altitude near the top of the atmosphere where infrared radiation
escapes freely
to space allows adjustment of the surface temperature by means of the addition of greenhouse gases.
The only way heat can
escape to space is via radiation
because space is a void and therefore heat can not be transmitted by convection or conduction.

because the Sun has changed its brightness, but
because the ability of the enormous flow of solar energy through the Earth's surface environment
to escape back
to space has been impaired.
Momentum is for warmer GT's, heat radiation can only
escape to space at a regular rate, does not accelerate outwards
because the atmosphere is warmer, in fact the opposite if the troposphere is higher.
However, I have argued elsewhere, that
because of both temperature and density gradients, the
escape path
to space is favored over the return path
to the surface;
because of re-absorption in subsequent atmospheric layers.
This matters
because clouds are fundamental regulators of how much solar radiation makes it
to the Earth's surface (rather than being reflected back
to space by white cloud tops), and how much infrared or «longwave» radiation
escapes back
to space once again.

because it can not occur until the ocean
escapes to space.
Basic assumptions are that CO2 is a greenhouse gas that delays heat
escaping to space; an increase in CO2 causes a temperature increase; and CO2 will increase
because of human activities.
They are complicated
to model
because they have both positive feedbacks, preventing surface heat from
escaping back into
space, and negative feedbacks, reflecting incoming sunlight before it can reach the surface.

escapes will increase if the fabric is stretched
to a larger size

space between the fibres will increase.
It is most correct
to say that

escaped into
space.
